For the Trump administration to understand: The Strait of Hormuz is NOT OPEN. The UAE does not and will NEVER accept the Islamic regime in Iran imposing CONDITIONS on access. The UAE is not Britain or the EU. It does not accept any terrorist actor restricting freedom of navigation. As for Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia negotiating to keep the regime afloat, understand this: no state has a legitimate right to decide who may pass and under what terms. That is international law, not a bargaining chip.

Shame on United Kingdom, NATO, European Union, and anyone who tolerates this regime’s terrorism and piracy.

CBS, citing MarineTraffic:

•  6 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz Thursday
2 tankers, 3 cargo ships, 1 bunkering vessel

•  Wednesday saw 5 ships, all cargo, zero tankers

•  Tuesday, when the ceasefire was announced, 11 ships crossed, including 9 tankers

•  Since Feb 28, 212 tankers have passed, about 58% of total traffic

Pre war baseline for comparison: ~100–140 vessels per day

•  Total vessels since Feb 28: ~360–370

•  At normal rates, that volume would move in about 3–4 days

•  Instead, it has taken roughly 40+ days

Bottom line: traffic is running at roughly 5–10% of normal levels.

Actually, your history skills are missing.

Those past presidents chose deliberately not to engage, which created a much more intense situation over that time as Iran cemented those nuclear material and missiles.

You actually seem to believe that Obama giving Iran many billions did not in any way impact today's and future events.

That simply is a very bad mistake, as it proved much more difficult for those who followed to deal with the terrorist country of Iran.

Wake up,  Or remain delusional.

The choice is yours.

Not about past Presidents !!!! Its about this one. Period. Keep your delusions, I'll keep my illusions.

My opinion from what I have read from many sources is that the Iranians are playing Trump for a schmuck.

Trump has it backwards. He says what they say to the press is not what they say to us. Well of course!
They are going to tell Trump everything and anything he wants to hear to stroke he ego.

Trump thinks that they are being sincere when they speak with him, and they are lying to the press. NO! It's the other way.
What they tell Trump is the lie. What they say to the press is how they really feel and it is what they are actually going to do.

Trump is so laser focused on "making a deal" that he has lost sight of the purpose of Epic Fury and the original stated goals.
Trump has signed the death warrants of tens of thousands of innocent Iranians who trusted him.


And if he does not wake up to the fact they are fanatics wearing sheep's clothing, we may all wake up to the morning news announcing a Iranian nuclear strike.

I agree the overwhelming need to "make a deal" is why he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, believing a deal would suffice, but failing to realize that Iranian politicians do not control the military, and especially not the IRGC.

CENTCOM Chief: ‘Iran Has Suffered a Generational Military Defeat’ — 40-Year Military Build-Up ‘Crushed in Under 40 Days’

U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Thursday the United States has achieved its core military objectives under Operation Epic Fury, declaring Iran “has suffered a generational military defeat” after its more than four-decade military buildup was systematically destroyed in under 40 days.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/04/09/centcom-chief-iran-has-suffered-a-generational-military-defeat-40-year-military-build-up-crushed-in-under-40-days/

It only takes a drone here and there, a missile over there to make the core military defeat look a shambles.

But never mind because they are going to continue down the 12er path to world annihilation, core military objectives achieved or not.

Iran cannot be defeated on the battlefield, as long as one Arab 12er remains alive.

Iran will NEVER abide by any terms of any "deal" regardless of anything they agree to on paper. Trump is on a fool's errand.
These are end-of-the-world religious fanatics. They are not bound by Earthly rules or laws. Their destiny is in heaven.

It is hard to believe Trump is this stupid. Strait of Hormuz IS NOT OPEN. In fact, Trump only made the situation worse.

He has given them an opportunity to stand down and have peace.

Yes, predictably, they will not honor any terms.

Now, for those who would have said "Give Peace a Chance" (I think I have heard that line somewhere before), he did.

The only option left is to defeat our enemies, because for them, peace is not an option.

If the Dems want to go all 'war powers' in Congress, they will acquire the stink of an unresolved conflict and increased prices at the pump, because they didn't let Trump finish the job that can only be ended one way.

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters has vowed to retaliate against "criminal aggressors" and move to a "new stage" of management over the Strait of Hormuz, state-affiliated Fars News reported on Friday. Citing directives from the Supreme Leader, the military command warned of a "crushing and painful" response against Israel if strikes on Hezbollah and Lebanon’s Dahiyeh continue.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has significantly increased the tempo of strikes on Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) positions and infrastructure in Southern Lebanon, amidst ongoing reciprocal strikes between LH and Israel in the past couple days. Per an IDF statement, they have struck more than 200 LH launch sites since the start of operations.

Negotiations are a stall tactic for the Iranian regime and the IRGC to live another day until the War Powers Act takes the American boot off their throats.

Kill 'em all (IRGC) now, before Congress capitulates to the mullahs.

I am only interested in the veracity of the statement.  Can you please show any overall benefit that we have derived from the current 'ceasefire' [sic]?  I would sincerely like to know of one.  Because from what I'm seeing, we have only handicapped ourselves while Iran is free to continue attacking, killing, rearming, and securing power.

Why didn't Vance take his wife with him?

🚨 HORMUZ HAZARD: President Trump just slammed Iran for doing a “very poor job, dishonorable some would say” of letting oil flow freely through the Strait of Hormuz.

“That is NOT the agreement we have!”

Oh, yes it is.  Iran is doing it, and you are pretending that you can't do anything to stop it because of some phantom agreement you are touting.

Negotiations are a stall tactic for the Iranian regime and the IRGC

I have a feeling they are in fact a stall tactic for us.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has significantly increased the tempo of strikes on Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) positions and infrastructure in Southern Lebanon, amidst ongoing reciprocal strikes between LH and Israel in the past couple days. Per an IDF statement, they have struck more than 200 LH launch sites since the start of operations.

And this right here could be the 6-dimensional-chess head fake.  At least I can only hope, because nothing else good is coming out of this so far.  With the 'cease fire' [sic], Israel is now free to concentrate all its forces on Hezbollah in Lebanon while we monitor Iran's response.  At the same time, the US keeps moving more arms and equipment into the Middle East.  And  we force the UAE, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia to put more skin in the game.  And Oman is marginalized because they now have no control on what ships Iran allows to pass.

I am only interested in the veracity of the statement.  Can you please show any overall benefit that we have derived from the current 'ceasefire' [sic]?  I would sincerely like to know of one.  Because from what I'm seeing, we have only handicapped ourselves while Iran is free to continue attacking, killing, rearming, and securing power.

Here's a benefit:  Iran moved the women and children away from the power plants and bridges.  Now Trump can bomb them, and there won't be a warning this time.

An Israeli intelligence official told Fox News on Friday that Iran is demanding fees from ships to travel through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The Strait is effectively under full Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps control,” the official told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst. “They decide who gets to go through, but more importantly, who doesn’t.”

The official also said new information is being shared in the intelligence community indicating that the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is using the ceasefire window to carry out operations that tighten its grip on the strait.

The development runs in defiance of a warning that President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday night.

“There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!” Trump said.

Alireza Jafarzadeh, the deputy director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, told “Fox & Friends First” on Friday that the Iranian regime, which is “built on terrorism,” will likely be trying to “buy time” in upcoming negotiations with the U.S. this weekend.

Vice President JD Vance is heading to Pakistan for the talks.

“Keep in mind, despite the smoke and screens, this regime is much weaker now than they have ever been. Not just simply because they received a significant military and political blow during the war, but also their main concern is their own population inside Iran,” Jafarzadeh said, adding, “That is why the regime started executing political prisoners just since 10 days ago.”

“Nothing has changed when it comes to the nature of this regime. This is a regime that is built on terrorism, is built on developing nuclear weapons and missile programs and running all of these proxies and those policies haven’t changed. Therefore, the goal of the Iranian regime from coming to the negotiating table is not to accept peace, but rather they want to buy time, they want to get off the hook and see what they can get out of it,” he added.

“The main focus should be on how to help empower the people in Iran,” Jafarzadeh said.

Significant statement from one of the men leading negotiations for Iran. Vice President Vance already left for the talks, and now the Iranian Parliament speaker says negotiations won't begin until there is a ceasefire in Lebanon, and Iranian assets unfrozen.

Gee, who saw that coming?


This here is the negotiator we need.

But . . . but . . . but according to the 'ceasefire' [sic], the strait is 'open' [sic].

It's clear to me that the US is building up forces for potential ground incursions if Iran is not serious about these negotiations.

There is not one party alive (and willing) in Iran to identify themselves as being in any kind of leadership position.
